Mining operations must meet the critical demands of every day to help reduce the costs of downtime. The mining and processing of ore, such as metallic, mineral and fuel, presents one of the harshest environments known to operating equipment.

Because we understand that equipment reliability and productivity defines a plants' profitability, Chesterton offers a wide range of product-based solutions to aid in increasing process equipment uptime while lowering total cost of ownership.

Abrasion ProtectionMean Time Between Failure (MTBF) and system uptime are imperative in mineral and ore processing industries. Damage to materials handling equipment and systems is one of the primary causes of MTBF in highly abrasive and corrosive environments associated with extraction and refining.

Impact-resistant composite coatings like ARC I BX1 are designed for severe abrasive wear to increase uptime for mining equipment.

Innovative Packing Technology for Longer Life in Severe Slurry Applications

Issues that can cause a loss of compression and result in leaking and require packing adjustments in severe slurry environments are high friction from tough aramids that fret shafts and sleeves, and PTFEs which are low in friction but consolidate and extrude.

Chesterton DualPac 2211 is severe slurry packing built to address both by combining two complimentary materials in one packing.
